Illustrator illustration

[Richard Harrington]

That’s raster and probably done in a 3D program

Hi Kim
Something similar can easily be done in Photoshop using the stylize>extrude filter, which makes blocks. I did the extrude on a photo, put a distort>twirl on it then another stylize>extrude and got an interesting effect. Not sure what you need but thought I’d throw in the thought.

I think you can make something similar in Illustrator. First you must paint all those rectangles using a scatter brush with the size, spacing and scatter set to random. After that group them and create the 3d effect using envelope distort with mesh or top object. HTH
